The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) submitted recommendations to the Clean Corridor Coalition on building medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicle (MHDV) charging infrastructure in New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, and Maryland. ACEEE called for frequent station spacing (every 30-50 miles), strategically located near freight activity centers and designed to scale as adoption grows. While most charging will occur at depots, public and semi-public charging hubs are critical for regional and long-haul trips as well as for smaller fleets with more limited resources. Flexible program design that allows innovative operating models and considers site-specific limitations will ensure cost-effectiveness and accessibility. ACEEE also highlights the importance of transparent utility engagement alongside proactive grid planning to streamline and attract future investments. Together, these recommendations aim to create a reliable, scalable charging network that supports zero-emission freight, reduces emissions in overburdened communities, and advances climate and economic goals.
